This has been my observation living in the EU.

Two regions that have been capitalising from skilled programmers and that hardly anyone talks about are the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Speaking of aesthetics, I switched back to VSCode but I ended up installing the theme "Zed One Theme" and switched the editor's font to "IBM Plex Mono".

I know it's not Zed, but I am pretty satisfied with the results.

Ok, how big was your project?

My JetBrains IDEs (RustRover, Goland) probably would have choked out too.

For some reason I always had a feeling about him. Perhaps I couldn’t understand why a guy that did so well in life like him found so much time to pick fights on Twitter. With the kind of money he had, I’d pay to be anonymous.

It used to be simpler and focused on capturing text. Slowly they turned into an alternative to Confluence, Trello, Jira, ChatGPT's UI, ad infinitum.

Most people got hooked before it was that convoluted.

Sure, as long as consumers are not forced to update which will justify a subscription model.

Ubuntu is not Linux.

The author wrote about why he opposes such rewrites. You might not agree with him but you will get him… once you read the article.

I reckon that the ecosystem would have been much healthier if NPM had not been kept running without the care it requires.

If it were possible, how would you have prevented your Trigger account from being abused once a bad actor got its connection details by inspecting your FE app with DevTools?

I stand corrected.

As a fellow EU citizen that came from a “third world country” I can’t help but to be surprised about 3 things:

- How slowly but surely the EU and its members are becoming exactly like the governments of said third world countries. (I’ve lived through them, trust me, I know)

- How unaware most citizens are about EU’s power hungriness. The same EU that hasn’t yet apologised for their attempt to clean up the US mess in the Middle East by taking on the displaced people from that region without proper integration plans.

- The fellow Europeans have little clue about the shit-show and corruption in Brussels. It’s rotten.

Can we flag this post? It doesn't add value to the platform.

They all are until they get threatened.

Soon or later we will default to analog means. It’s not looking good.

> (e.g. salt + pepper + argon2 w/high factors) they can still be reverse engineered. It is a matter of when, not if

How much compute/gpu and hard dollars would hackers need in order to reverse engineers those stollen passwords?
